Caterina Roppo

Caterina Roppo is an Italian multidisciplinary artist whose practice moves between sculpture, installation and textile research, working between Milan and Palma de Mallorca. At its centre is Trayma, a fabric she describes as a stone made of thread, produced through jacquard processes and manual interventions that deconstruct the solidity of rock into three-dimensional textile structures.

Her works register pressure, erosion and care, and read as a study of the co-dependence between the human body and the material world, in which the wound becomes a habitable material rather than an exception. Roppo has developed that research through projects such as SEVA and Il Vuoto di Trayma, and through collaborations including a textile project with Marcel Wanders for Fischbacher 1819 and the Introvert chair selected by Moooi.
